Powder Coated Wheels

Seriously considering powder coating my wheels matt white.

1. What do you guys think?
2. What should I do with the OF centre caps? Will they stand out being silver?

You may regret the powder coating, it's very fragile stuff and just fitting tyres can chip it as it sets so damn hard. 08 2.7 RRS "S"

Yes i agree, i had mine refurbed and completely powdercoated, by the time the tyres where back on i had various chips from the tyre fitters!

I still wonder if i regret getting them done in the first place!

Had my Rays track wheels done in matt gunmetal ( powder coated ) and as I thought normally only use them on track days and nurburgring trips, thought it would be OK, fooking nightmare to keep clean, and as others have said when those mucky tyre fitters go mad re-fitting tyres you have your hands over your eyes whilst your in there Laughing
